Emile HenryBaguette Baker | Linen

Making authentic French Baguettes in a home oven is a kind of suicide mission. Employed as the Estate Chef to a wealthy family who often entertain VIP’s, the Emile Henry Baguette Baker was nothing less than a gift from the Almighty Himself. This baker perfectly replicates the steam-injected bread ovens I labored in as a youthful apprentice.The Baguettes shown here are sourdough at 70% hydration, each weighing 9 oz. 15-minutes at 465° followed by 12 minutes w/o the lid. For final browning I kick the heat up to 500°. To facilitate higher hydration (sticky dough) I line each well with a 3-inch wide strip of parchment paper.The family is so thrilled they insist on Baguette with every dinner. Can’t say I blame them.

It was completely broken, the broken pieces were at the bottom of the box…the box was intact….so it was clearly returned and re-sold. I returned it. I will try to order again and will let you know….

This is a nice-looking pan but the indentations for the 3 baguettes are small - only about 13". My bread developed a decent crust, though not as great as I had hoped. That could be the fault of the bread recipe, not the pan. I floured the indentations before putting in the shaped loaves and had no trouble with loaves sticking to the pan.

Excellent product! Use parchment paper strips or you'll be prying your beautiful baguettes out with pliers.WARNING!! I was not careful enough in removing the cover for the last five minutes of browning the bread and burned my hand VERY badly from the escaping steam. Stupid me for not using full oven mitts. I was using flat pot holders to lift the lid.With the venting holes on top, I just didn't expect that much steam to still be present. My bad error. Badly burnt hand.The bread and the product is excellent, just use with care!

This is one of the best investment I have done for baking for a while. I bake a lot of different bread and this is a great helper. The Henry Baker makes really great baguettes if you follow the instructions and tips for using it. It takes just two hour from starting the dough until three finished baguettes. I am typically using the recipe for the traditional baguettes on page 30, using King Arthur unbleached general purpose flour. Perfect outcome. Quick tip: Use some spray oil for the lower form in the beginning instead of just flour.

Bought as birthday for my dear Wife who is started with a great new hobby, making artisan bread.The Emile Henry baggette maker is well worth the price.

I have ordered this twice and it arrived broken both times.

You REALLY need to line this with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Die Form sieht gut aus und macht einen sehr hochwertigen Eindruck. Ich habe sie zum zweiten Mal bestellt, da die erste Form zerbrochen angeliefert wurde. Die zweite kam heute ebenfalls zerbrochen an. Wen Keramikprodukte verschickt werden, dann sollten diese gut gepolstert verschickt werden, um solche Schäden zu vermeiden. Deshalb nur einen Stern.

Its exactly as advertised. Love using it, just be sure to grease before baking and to let your breast cool COMPLETELY before trying to remove. If you dont wait itll stick to the side and the bread will break apart.

Le moule est arrivé en mille morceaux... Très mal emballé.Mais j' ai pu le renvoyer et être remboursée.Je ne peux donner d avis sur l article.

It was so disappointing that I received this product exactly what has been described by some of other reviewers! I was expecting that Amazon would be making improvement. Obviously not! The package of the product is not reasonably secure for this fragile product. Amazon's huge box, in which the product could freely dance around, made it worse. Two thin sheets of paper inside, no "FRAGILE" label outside. Return it without replacing! This time I am determined, because I did see somebody got the broken one for the second time.

As with all Emile henry products that I own, it is terrific. However, after ordering a replacement from Amazon because the first one arrived shattered… The second one also arrived shattered. Amazon, I don’t think these are appropriate for you to be shipping unless the Amazon packages are marked fragile, and they include the same amount or more of the giant bubble wrap plus Styrofoam popcorn that, say, my cat toy arrived with! The product is great, but the hassle of having to return two large, medium heavy shipping boxes wasn’t great, hence three stars.
